1） How to select the air assist with high volume or low volume? In RDworks software, high volume or low volume is selected on the “Air-Assist Control” option. We suggest select “High” for cut mode and select “Low” for scan mode(engraving mode). You can also set default for “Air-Assist Control” option, so in cut mode, it will select High volume automatically, and in scan mode (engraving mode), it will select Low volume automatically. How to set default for “Air-Assist Control” option? Go into the RDworks’s root directory>>open the text file of “soft”>>change the setting of “ShowBlow”>>save the text file, like below.
